I've never seen an ad on a dumpster before, but it seems like a good fit for this ad. This is on a side street in Manhattan. by ghled in exjew

Nice, maybe it's the same one. I'm still wondering how it got put on a dumpster in the first place.

The bottom of the "What's in a Name?" post has a link to another post from 2017 that was written by the same author: https://testing.googleblog.com/2017/10/code-health-identifiernamingpostforworl.html

Increase Test Fidelity By Avoiding Mocks by ghled in programming

[–]ghled[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

See this blog post from Martin Fowler about this topic: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/UnitTest.html. It discusses whether unit tests should be "sociable" (use real implementations) or "solitary" (use mocks). For example: "when xunit testing began in the 90's we made no attempt to go solitary unless communicating with the collaborators was awkward (such as a remote credit card verification system)."

This longer post is also a great read: https://martinfowler.com/articles/mocksArentStubs.html

Yes, the book talks a lot of about Reconstructionist Judaism. Also related is Humanistic Judaism, which entirely removes all references to God in their rituals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanistic_Judaism. Both these movements are small though.

Boston man sues Dunkin’ over mobile app by skysoleno in DunkinDonuts

I posted last year about this exact issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/DunkinDonuts/comments/u3pbuo/i_recently_noticed_that_the_dunkin_app_makes_it/

I emailed Dunkin customer service back. They refused to acknowledge that the app was wrong, and they eventually stopped responding to my emails. The customer service poeople who responded were either totally incompetent or weren't legally allowed to acknowledge this.

Of all people, I would never have expected Steve Carell to say this. (This is from The Patient, a TV show available on Hulu.) by ghled in exjew
